    My life

    So, I have a year of college behind me now. My first year was great, I absolutely love college, for me I think I enjoy living in the city the most. For my entire life I have live in a ****hole of a place, it would take me over an hour to drive anywhere to find civilization, and now living in the city I can basically walk anywhere I want to go in minutes (movies, bowling, out to eat, ect). Being on my own is something that I thoroughly enjoy. So yeah, I love school. But one thing that has continued to bother me is that I have no idea on what my major should be. I've thought about it, taking in to consideration what jobs are available to me where I live and I get nothing. Honestly the only thing to do in the community in which I live is either a school teacher or a nurse or doctor or some kind of medical job like that.

    So, yeah, I'm not interested in that, I hate little kids and I can't deal with blood. So yeah, I really hate not having any idea of what I am going to do as a career, I took introductory classes in several choices last year, but I didn't really like any of them. And the thing is, the people you talk to all act like whatever they do is the best thing in the world, and I can't really believe a lot of them. I feel like I'm floating around in a huge ocean with a destination.

    The other day I was looking online again about careers and I think I have decided to get my bachelor degree in social work. My school offers a great scholarship with that, that will give me a full ride. The only catch is I have to work for the state for two years after I graduate. So I think that is a pretty good deal, I think that I might enjoy that line of work, or at least be able to tolerate it.

      Mora speaks from experience.



      Also, AH, if I may call you that, you say that there's nothing in your community besides medical professions, etc.



      Question: If you hate where you live (not college, I mean...where you REALLY live), why in God's name would you want to go back there after you graduate? Guess what? There are 50 states in the Union, and countless cities and towns in those states. When you settle on a degree, there's also this wonderful invention called the internet that allows one to search for jobs in his chosen field, and these jobs are also located somewhere in these 50 states as well.



      So don't settle for something just because you can get work in the community where you grew up. Worst case scenario is, you move back home for a bit after college, look for jobs online while working a job just to get some savings, and then move elsewhere when you land something "real."



      Then again, I have a secure job, and am not sure how jobs are looking in any given field. But social work is ALWAYS a safe bet. Although, if I was one of Mora's clients, I'd probably end up offing myself while he was trying to get me to come to grips with my various quirks and foibles.

        Join the club, American Hero. I have a feeling I'll never figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I've accepted that. Don't move back home.

            I've just accepted the fact that I'll never have any dreams or aspirations and I'm OK with that.

              Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true.

                C'mon guys, don't be such pessimists.

                Andy Dufresne: That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you... Haven't you ever felt that way about music?
                Red: I played a mean harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it though. Didn't make much sense in here.
                Andy Dufresne: Here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget.
                Red: Forget?
                Andy Dufresne: Forget that... there are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours.
                Red: What're you talking about?
                Andy Dufresne: Hope.
                Red: Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
